Hi folks,

I ran

# poff ds-provider


ps -f -C pppd

on my "not broadband" :-( system, shows:

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root      9744     1  0 06:00 ttyS1    00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pppd call provider


"poff", which is a script, deftly picks off the "provider" piece and cancels pppd if it was running provider.


In your case "ds-provider".


/usr/bin/poff: I could not find a pppd process for
provider 'ds-provider'. None      stopped.


That means pppd was not running ds-provider. What does ps -f -C pppd show?


It complained.  ifconfig showed broadband still
connected

If run
# poff
No printout.

ifconfig showed broadband disconnected.

Can any folk help me to understancd why?  TIA

B.R.
Stephen Liu
